THINGS MENTIONED
Roasted Tomato Soup Recipe (2 servings):
1 bag and a half of San Marzano plum tomatoes (about 16oz)
Half an onion, quartered
3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
½ cup half and half, milk, or coconut milk
1 tbsp caponata from a jar (optional, just use any sauce/condiments you like)
Red wine vinegar or lemon juice
Chili oil (optional)
Season tomatoes, onion, and garlic and roast on a sheet pan at 425 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Let the veggies cool. Put veggies into a blender with the milk and blend until smooth. You can add caponata if you have it on hand or just skip it. Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed. I added a splash of red wine vinegar and some chili olive oil for heat. (Hot honey, balsamic glaze, pesto, or sundried tomatoes and fresh herbs would also make nice additions.) Heat soup over medium until it’s warmed through.
